Premiership Women's Rugby can confirm that ahead of the Women’s Rugby World Cup and Women's Six Nations, BBC Sport has secured a deal to broadcast four matches, including the PWR final on 16 March.

The matches will be live on BBC iPlayer, the BBC Sport website and app, as well as being broadcast live on TNT Sports. 

BBC Sport’s coverage of PWR kicks off on 14 February when Harlequins take on Bristol Bears with every game crucial in the race to the final.

Darren Hanley, PWR Head of Marketing said: "This year presents women's rugby with a unique opportunity to accelerate our growth and we are delighted to have broadcast partners like the BBC and TNT Sports to help us take the sport to new audiences. 

"When the RWC kicks off this August a big proportion of the athletes involved will also be PWR players and this is a great opportunity for a huge TV audience to get to know these brilliant role models."

Alex Kay-Jelski, Director of BBC Sport, said: "As the Women's Rugby World Cup 2025 kicks off later this year, there's never been a better time for fans to follow the top players in Premiership Women’s Rugby.

"The season has delivered so much already, and with so much still at stake, these games across BBC Sport will put fans right in the heart of the action. 2025 is set to be a landmark year for women’s sport, and we’re proud to bring these pivotal moments to audiences.” 

Saracens captain Lotte Sharp, also a USA Eagle, added: "I've been playing for Saracens for 11 years and there hasn’t been a tighter race for the semi-final spots. It also seems we've had shocks and record crowds every weekend, so to know some of the games will be shown both on TNT Sports and across BBC Sport gives the players a big boost."
